JBoss AS 7 is a revolution — completely rewritten. Modular architecture, startup in 3 seconds, CLI management. After six months in production we’re sharing our experience.
Modular architecture¶
JBoss Modules — every library is a module with explicit dependencies. No more classloader conflicts. A dramatic improvement.
Management CLI¶
jboss-cli.sh for management from the command line. Datasource, deployment, configuration — everything scriptable. Our deployment script uses the CLI.
Domain mode¶
Centralized management of multiple servers. Deployment to a cluster = one command. Configuration changes propagate automatically.
Performance¶
Startup in 3 seconds (GlassFish: 15–20). Lower memory footprint. Hot deployment is reliable.
Conclusion¶
JBoss AS 7 is the best Java EE server we’ve worked with. Our default choice for new projects.
